Rob, I agree with you -- I don't follow this 100% -- far too difficult for me. And it is HARD to get the foods that are guaranteed pesticide free in my area unless I grow them myself (which I DO in the Summer
).
I was a patient of Dr. William G. Crook -- a leader in the Candida movement -- I was tested for allergies more than 30 years ago -- put on the regime -- taught how to cleanse my system and look for problems. I avoid CHEMICALS like they are the PLAGUE!!
I have very serious Bulbar -- can no longer work -- BUT, I have managed to stay OUT of the hospital so far (knock wood). In the Summer, I edge closer to "normal" -- except I can't talk worth anything.
Anyway, I ONLY use Mestinon -- and the basic tenets outlined on your first link. Whenever possible, I try to get my vitamins and minerals from foods -- I do, however, take fish oil, Vitamin C (mostly when sick with an upper respiratory), and D3 (during the winter). Yogurt is a mainstay -- active cultures are a necessity.
